Does anyone like Zed in the room? What you're seeing in the screenshot: a native window with an editable code buffer, line numbers, and live tree-sitter syntax highlighting (keywords, strings, and numbers all colored), with working keyboard input — I typed that let n = 42 + 7; line and it re-highlighted on the fly. Why it matters for Zed: this is the GPUI editor — the same UI framework Zed is built on — rendering through our software CPU backend into an AROS Intuition window. It's the Apache-licensed gpui-component editor (tree-sitter highlighting, LSP-capable), running on top of our full Rust std port for AROS. In other words, the whole editor stack above GPUI compiles and runs: text buffer, layout, font shaping, input, and syntax highlighting. It's not Zed-the-app yet — that still needs an async runtime for LSP subprocesses, networking, and terminals, which AROS doesn't have in POSIX form. But "an editor on GPUI, on AROS, that you can type into and see highlighted".

this is really cool, I have been using Zed almost exclusively for the last 3 years or so...

The result this evening, the lsp bridge runs on the host which gets me autocomplete already.
